Secure managed USB drive

The Kingston IronKey D300SM is a 64GB USB 3.0 flash drive with 256-bit AES hardware encryption in XTS mode. It is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified for high-assurance data protection. Central management requires IronKey EMS or SafeConsole by DataLocker. This drive suits organisations that enforce strict removable-media policies.

Driver-free hardware encryption

The drive works on any host with a USB 3.0 port and needs no software installation on the computer itself. Encryption is performed by the onboard controller, so there is no driver to load or update. A common issue is forgetting the admin password; the management console can reset it remotely if the drive is enrolled. Losing the drive before enrolment means data cannot be recovered.

Management platform and port check

Verify that your IT team runs IronKey EMS or SafeConsole, because the D300SM cannot be managed without one of those platforms. Confirm that target machines provide USB 3.0 Type-A ports for full performance. The drive is not suited for users who want a simple plug-and-play encrypted stick without a management server.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the drive is encrypting data with 256-bit AES XTS after I set it up?

The drive is FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified, meaning its hardware encryption engine has been independently validated. When managed through IronKey EMS or SafeConsole by DataLocker, administrators can enforce policies and remotely verify each drive's encryption status and unique serial number.

What comes in the box and do I need a separate licence for central management?

The package contains the 64 GB USB 3.0 flash drive itself. Central management requires either IronKey EMS or SafeConsole by DataLocker, which are separate platforms — one cloud-based, one on-premises — used to configure password rules, retry limits and remote-disable features.

Which capacity should I choose among the 16, 32, 64 and 128 GB versions?

All capacities share the same FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified 256-bit AES XTS hardware encryption and USB 3.0 interface. Pick the smallest size that fits your current data set with room for growth; the 64 GB model suits typical document and image workloads, while 128 GB handles larger media libraries.
